Abstract

An obstacle avoidance device for detecting surroundings of an unmanned mobile device is disclosed, which includes a stabilization platform connected with the unmanned mobile device, wherein the stabilization platform includes a stabilizer for ensuring stably bearing at least one platform camera; and an obstacle avoidance module fixed with the stabilization platform, so as to reduce interferences to detecting the surroundings by the obstacle avoidance module when the unmanned mobile device acts. The obstacle avoidance device of the present invention is able to keep a stable attitude while the unmanned mobile device is unstable and changes an attitude thereof, so as to effectively avoid obstacles.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An obstacle avoidance device for detecting surroundings of an unmanned mobile device, which comprises:
 a stabilization platform connected with the unmanned mobile device, which comprises a stabilizer for ensuring stably bearing at least one platform camera, a rotation shaft unit and a stabilization holder; and 
 an obstacle avoidance module fixed with the stabilization platform, so as to reduce interferences to detect the surroundings by the obstacle avoidance module when the unmanned mobile device acts, wherein: 
 the obstacle avoidance module is installed on the stabilization holder; the stabilization holder is movably connected with the unmanned mobile device through the rotation shaft unit, so that the obstacle avoidance module moves relatively to the unmanned mobile device and maintains an attitude when the unmanned mobile device acts; 
 the obstacle avoidance module comprises a circumferential obstacle avoidance lens unit which is arranged at a periphery of the stabilization holder and faces towards an outside of the stabilization holder, so as to achieve omnidirectional obstacle avoidance; 
 the circumferential obstacle avoidance lens unit comprises four pairs of binocular lenses which are respectively evenly distributed in each direction of the periphery of the stabilization holder. 
 
     
     
       2. The obstacle avoidance device, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the stabilization holder comprises a frame structure with a gap, and the gap is configured to accommodate the platform camera. 
     
     
       3. The obstacle avoidance device, as recited in  claim 2 , wherein through a camera shaft, the platform camera is rotatably connected with the gap of the frame structure. 
     
     
       4. The obstacle avoidance device, as recited in  claim 3 , wherein one shaft of the rotation shaft unit and a frame plane of the frame structure are coplanar, the frame structure rotates around an axis of the coplanar plane. 
     
     
       5. An obstacle avoidance device for detecting surroundings of an unmanned mobile device, which comprises:
 a stabilization platform connected with the unmanned mobile device, which comprises a stabilizer for ensuring stably bearing at least one platform camera, a rotation shaft unit and a stabilization holder; and 
 an obstacle avoidance module fixed with the stabilization platform, so as to reduce interferences to detect the surroundings by the obstacle avoidance module when the unmanned mobile device acts, wherein: 
 the obstacle avoidance module is installed on the stabilization holder; the stabilization holder is movably connected with the unmanned mobile device through the rotation shaft unit, so that the obstacle avoidance module moves relatively to the unmanned mobile device and maintains an attitude when the unmanned mobile device acts; 
 the obstacle avoidance module comprises a circumferential obstacle avoidance lens unit which is arranged at a periphery of the stabilization holder and faces towards an outside of the stabilization holder so as to achieve omnidirectional obstacle avoidance, and bottom obstacle avoidance lenses which are arranged at a bottom of the stabilization holder and faces downwardly so as to achieve bottom obstacle avoidance. 
 
     
     
       6. The obstacle avoidance device, as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the stabilization holder comprises a frame structure with a gap, and the gap is configured to accommodate the platform camera. 
     
     
       7. The obstacle avoidance device, as recited in  claim 6 , wherein through a camera shaft, the platform camera is rotatably connected with the gap of the frame structure. 
     
     
       8. The obstacle avoidance device, as recited in  claim 7 , wherein one shaft of the rotation shaft unit and a frame plane of the frame structure are coplanar, the frame structure rotates around an axis of the coplanar plane.
